All About Ebates.com


Why I use it- How I use it -  Is it a scam


Why I use Ebates.com - It's a no brainer!! Why would I NOT want to earn cash back on purchases that I would be making anyway? Regardless if it's $1 cash back or $10 cash back on my purchase. It's money that is being given to me for really no reason at all. All because I shopped online through Ebates.com

How I use Ebates.com - I login to my Ebates.com account. I usually already have an idea of what I need or want to purchase and will just type the store name in the search bar at the top right of the page. There will be a percentage next to the store you select. That percentage is the amount of cash back you will receive based on the amount of your purchase. Ebates.com will direct you to that stores website while creating a tracking ticket. You select your items, make your purchase as normal. The tracking ticket is tracked through Ebates.com (like a receipt) It tells Ebates how much you spent.

Is it a Scam? No, sign up for free, pick a gift card of your choice worth $10 (this was the gift card amount when I joined) Your gift card will be sent in the mail. It took approx. 3 weeks before I received my gift card. I chose a $10 Target gift card.
Make a "qualifying purchase" of at least $25 to start earning your cash back. Make the purchase from any store of your choice as you usually would shopping online. Ebates currently has about 1,600 retailers.

Why am I sharing this info now?
I'm a skeptical person by nature so when someone tells me I can get paid to shop through Ebates.com I'm not taking them seriously. My thought process is "Why would someone pay ME to shop" After doing my own research for months (because I want to be sure) I decided to sign up to see for myself if it's true, if Ebates.com will pay me to shop through their website. It is free to sign up so I figured I didn't have anything to lose.

**I don't jump on band wagons and I'm not a scamming, get rich, pyramid scheme type of person and that is why I decided to wait to share this info with people other than family. I had to be certain it was not a scam.**

Let me make a few things clear:
Ebates.com WILL NOT make you rich
You WILL NOT be able to quit your job, sit home and make money. Ebates is not a job.
If you are NOT an online shopper this is NOT for you. BUT...
I will say since using Ebates.com I do a lot more shopping online just because it makes sense to me. You have to decide if that works for you.

In Store Pick-Up
Also please note that most stores offer in store pick up which is typically what I like to do. If you don't want to deal with waiting on your items to be shipped or shipping cost this is an awesome option.

How do I make sure that I am earning cash back? (info from Ebates.com)
Purchases you make at Ebates stores are only credited if you start your shopping session at Ebates.com or another Ebates service (like the Ebates toolbar) and click to a store via an Ebates link.

Why should you join? (info from Ebates.com)
Shop through Ebates, and earn up to 25% cash back at your favorite stores. How? Our stores pay us a fee when you shop. We then share the fee directly with you - it's just that simple.
Incredible deals don't end with cash back. We hunt down cut-rate coupons and exclusive offers plus amazing deals on hot products. Unlike any other savings site on the internet, you can layer the deals. Save big by using coupons and getting cash back at the same time! With deal layering, you really stack up the savings.

Can you make money through Ebates other than cash back on your purchases?
Why of course you can! Not much but it's possible.

If you use Ebates and decide that it's legit and you think your friends and family would benefit from using it, Ebates will give you a referral link that your friends and family can click. The referral link is linked to your Ebates account and tells Ebates that you referred this person. If your friend or family member joins and makes a $25 qualifying purchase you get $5....That's right folks FIVE DOLLARS!! LOL.

Again, Ebates is not a get rich quick scheme. It's simply a tool for savvy shoppers to get the best deals around. People like me who want the bang for their buck and people who are interested in saving money, earning money and most importantly people who like to SHOP!
